Can someone explain this Manti Te'o fake girlfriend thing?

My guesses: Hes gay. The lie was to get people off his back for not fucking all those hundreds of girls that wanted to be his groupie.

He really wanted the Heisman. Thought this could garner votes.

Hes mentally retarded, and fell in love with an internet picture.

He has hilariously mean friends. Also, hes still retarded.

Jon Jones did it.

There's been an admission and the Cardinals FB Tuiasosopo is one of the perps. Crazy as fuck. I feel bad for Manti, even if he carried it out farther than he should have. He would have looked like an ass saying she was fake had no one found out. I get why he clung to it.

Wonder how amazing the phone sex was for 3 years.

His main issue was bringing the idea of her into the public eye, which is where he ended up stretching the truth and playing it up into his own brand of "she's the love of my life and she's dying" fictional sob-fest to get attention and garner sympathy and Heisman votes.

Even if he was duped, he should have considered her 'an internet friend' or whatever - not his public girlfriend and love of his life that he told his parents he might someday marry. Get some perspective, Manti!

Because of that, he's partially responsible, in my opinion - for blowing it up into something wayyyy bigger than it really was and continually pushing it into the public eye at every opportunity he got.

I mean how much fun could she have been? She said her dad died, then she was in a tragically-faux car accident and coma, and then she was dying of leukemia. And all the while he's telling the world she's the love of his life and he doesn't bother to go visit her in the hospital?

If his buddy played one over on him, then he definitely played one over on the public as well.

so this chicks voice has been released and early rumors said that Ronaiah Tuiasosopo impersonated this voice. Apparently he had training for voice impersonation.

First I just want to say that MY GOD AND MY FAITH is BIGGER THAN THIS LIE that the media has to say about me.

If that was a female voice.....that was not me. The media needs to get their facts straight and most of all they need to NAME OR REVEAL THE SOURCE OF THEIR STORY.

I have a reputation to protect, my family, my samoan people and most of all, my belief of whose I am... and I will not let this lie destroy everything I stand for.

I will not hesitate to sue "the source of this lie" and the media.

The TRUTH will come out because GOD IS IN CONTROL!

this has the to be the most fucked up story in the history of stories

I thought I had a decent idea of what was going on before, now it's over the top. Though I did see some of that Katie Curic interview...she looked good, that's about it.
